holes 14, and in'this' positionthe keys may;

an angular opening 14, both openings forming an inverted key-holeof the conventional type, and these key-holes as shown are alined V in pairs, for the reception of a pair of keys 15. I These keys are rugged and strong round bars, with spaced angular lugs 16 integral therewith, and between thelugs are formed spaced: notches l 7.

Thekeys areinserted in th'e inverted keyholes with the lugs alined with the'a'ngular easily be slipped through the. alined keyholes, or the keys may remain stationary while the movable plate is adjusted toward or from the stationary plate; the screw be--- ing adjusted also for this purpose. The notches are of a width to correspond to the thickness of the'plates l and 5,'and it will be apparent that when the properadjustment of the movable plate is attained; the keys are turned, one to the right ,and 'the.

other'to the left so that thenotchedportions of the keys engage the plates and the'lugs at opposite sides of the plates also engage the latter to prevent longitudinal movement of the" keys. vDue to the presence of the row oof lugs on the keys; the latter are held V positioned'by the use of the keys for variturned'to clamp the ,WOfk.

against accidental turning; as the lugs per form the function of .a weight in holding the keys in the position of Figure 8. W'hen the parts of the vise are to be separated; the

lugs are turned ;-up to .aline with the angular holes '14:, after which the keys may readily bewithdrawn from the plates. The movable. plate may thus approximately be of the rear end of the wood strip during the planing operation.

Having thus what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

'1. The combination with a fixed plate having a jaw and akey-hole' slot ofa movable pl t ha ng --.c0mp em ;te y slot -a d j a clampingscrew'joining the *jaws, and a "key located in said slots, said key having spaceddugs and altegnating notches for the purpose described.
